[Intel-gfx] [PATCH] drm/i915: Set all undefined MOCS entries to follow PTE

A good default for garbage entries from the user is to follow the
default setting of the object (i.e. the PTE). Currently they use the
uncached entry, and now the only way to accidentally hit uncached
performance is via explicit use of the uncached MOCS or setting the
object to uncached. Note that these entries are currently undefined in
the ABI and we reserve the right to change them. We originally chose
uncached to eliminate any problem with reducing the caching level in
future, but the object is a much better definition of the minimum
caching level.
